Randall, what about your Angola story. I notice you have posted the final chapter. Will you be leaving it up hoping for more reviews? Or will you soon be taking it down and starting a new story?

Yes, I'll be leaving it up until the end of October.   There's another one already under way: Revenge. The first nine chapters of this one are posted. his is the sequel to Colombian Betrayal.   Whichever one you want to go for is fine with me.:)

Regards, Randall

Has this group folded? Don't see much activity or are people just not bothering to post when they leave a review?

John - Maybe, as Dagny suggested, you only have one book in you. You seem obsessed with one book, after all. But right now you have multiple versions of a work with no finality. I think I suggested years ago that you pull the trigger, stop making  perfect the enemy of the good, and try to get the damned thing published! Unless you will be satisfied with letting your talent wander endlessly in TNBW.

John,
I agree with Jack. Go for it!

Jube,
It's magic. It doesn't need explanation. Your young readers are not going to care, and you nerd readers will figure it out for themselves.
If it is important to you, you can have the electricity bounce off of both elements and show a comparison, without having to explain. But you're in the middle of an action scene and explanations slow things down.

Hey, Jube,

I agree with CJ. Regards, Randy

Damn, damn, damn! I accidentally erased my whole book! I've spent the day trying to retrieve it, but the software isn't letting me see the files, it just tells me they're retrievable. I have to stop before I erase the whole confounded computer in the trash bin. My only recourse is to copy chapter by chapter from tnbw. Gah!

Hope you're able to get things back!  I know the feeling as a couple of years ago, my computer died. Fortunately, everything was backed up except my WIP at the time but I was able to retrieve the chapters from TNBW. Now, I back up on a regular basis and keep my current WIP on two computers (desktop and laptop).

Fingers crossed for you!

Welcome, Dae!

I agree with Bill's comments. It's exactly what I had to do with my first publisher. You'll find most people seem to remove their stories from TNBW prior to actual publication.

Enjoy the site--plenty of helpful people here!
